India has developed a graphene sponge that can stop bleeding in 90 seconds, and has made an investment of 4.6 million US dollars

To help wounded soldiers on the battlefield, a two-man team in Bangalore, India, developed a graphene sponge product that claims to stop bleeding in 90 seconds Two researchers are from the CIIRC center of jyothi Institute of technology, a study designed to help Indian soldiers with possible bleeding problems on the battlefield However, the graphene sponge can be used in almost any emergency medical situation In an interview with the times of India, Ms Santosh said of the practical application of dapgs "On the battlefield, it is assumed that a military doctor will find a soldier who has been injured while soaking in the blood, prompting us to try to find a solution to the problem "This sponge is made of graphene material with carboxyl group connection, which can prevent bleeding because of its super absorption property It uses amino acids and biocompatible proteins extracted from trees to protect the injured area from any infection The team said dapgs is unique in that it can not only withstand excellent liquid absorption from cross-linked graphene sponge, but also enhance the stimulation ability of blood cell interface In addition to rapid absorption of plasma, it can also stimulate red blood cells and platelets to change the regular form and structure of the interface, which will greatly affect the biological function of cells, thus promoting blood coagulation The researchers believe that in addition to the expected hemostasis action, graphene sponge still has great potential for innovation in other application scenarios, which is also in line with the initial cost-effectiveness Because graphene and amino acids are relatively cheap, they believe that the product (after mass production) may be much cheaper than similar products on the market, with a great price advantage While dapgs is still under development, the duo are seeking funding to expand their business and increase coverage Not long ago, researchers got a lot of money (3 billion rupees, about 4.6 million US dollars) from Sringeri mutt to develop hemostatic sponge This product can help soldiers in the field as well as other fields.
